Last week, the FoxNet team had the privilege of joining Metropolitan Pump Co. Limited at their 50th Anniversary Charity Golf Tournament — held at the beautiful Galt Country Club

50 years in business is no small feat! It was an honor to be on the course celebrating such a meaningful milestone with them.

What made the day even more special? Galt Country Club is also a valued FoxNet customer — so we got to support two incredible partners in one afternoon. That's the kind of day that reminds you why relationships are at the heart of what we do.

Beyond the great golf and company, the tournament raised funds for two outstanding causes: the Heart & Stroke Foundation and the Waterloo Regional Health Network. Couldn't be prouder to play a small part in supporting both.

Congratulations to the entire MPC team on 50 years 🎉

We're on track to be fully SOC 2 compliant by September.

For a company that manages IT and security for other businesses, this matters.

It means our own processes have been independently verified, not just described.

More details to come...

We're running a discounted pe*******on testing offer for businesses in the Waterloo Region.

A pen test is a structured assessment of your security posture — we look for the vulnerabilities in your systems before someone else finds them. You get a clear report and a prioritized fix list.

It's something most SMBs haven't done, and one of the more practical investments you can make before a problem surfaces.

DM us or visit https://www.foxnetsolutions.com/ to learn more.

FoxNet has spent more than 20 years delivering custom IT solutions for small businesses in the Waterloo Region and surrounding areas.

Cyberattacks spike 40% during holiday periods — and summer is no exception.

Patches slip. Alerts go unread. The person who knows the backup schedule is at the cottage. Attackers know this, and they time their moves accordingly.

Before your next long weekend: confirm someone owns patch status, security alerts, and backup verification.

Questions? We're here.

Security operations don't slow down when IT teams take vacation, but staffing levels often do. Kaseya explains how AI-driven automation can help organizations maintain consistent security operations and reduce reliance on manual processes year-round.

A security researcher just found plaintext credentials for nearly 74,000 Fortinet firewalls sitting out in the open — pulled straight from an attacker's own server. Victims include Oracle, Chevron, Lenovo, FedEx, and even Fortinet itself.

If your business runs Fortinet gear, time to check patches and rotate credentials.

The affected include Oracle, Lenovo, FedEx, a NATO contractor, and Fortinet.

You never know what you’re going to see on the helpdesk, but this is the most honest “found a bug in the system” we’ve ever had.

This system might need pest control before endpoint protection.😅🪳

What a way to start a round...

Yesterday our team played in the Golf FORE KidsAbility Centre for Child Development tournament at Rebel Creek Golf Club — and on the very first hole of our day (the par 5 9th, which FoxNet sponsored) after finding the fairway, Bill Fox stepped up and holed it from 180 yards for an albatross. -3 after one hole!

The golf magic didn't quite carry through the rest of the round 😄 but honestly, it didn't need to. It was a great day on a great course for a cause that means a lot to us. FoxNet has been proud to support KidsAbility for many years — the work they do for children and families across our region is something we're genuinely glad to be part of.

Thanks to the Golf FORE KidsAbility committee and Rotary Waterloo for putting on another incredible event.
